    What? 7800GD is the newest of the bunch and still actively sold.
  2. Skill issue. You need to be running to make the jump, I think.
  3. Wow, this looks and sounds great in A7800. I would love to play a full game version of this. PHOENIX is a vastly under-rated shooter, one of the first ones with a boss level.
  4. My cash (“spare” and otherwise) was the $1,600 we had to spend last week on a new refrigerator when the compressor on our old one gave up the ghost. Wasn’t worth the cost of fixing it given parts availability, the fact that a couple of the door shelves had cracked over the years, etc. A week before THAT, I had just dropped $500+ on a new set of HOTAS controllers for my gaming PC to use with DCS World, so no money for new retro toys. I’m annoyed about the fridge because I really wanted a 400 Mini. Of all the recent era “mini” consoles, that one strikes my fancy way more than most.
  5. There are two threads in the A8 forum about the UAV, both started by @Bryan The first is for the original production Rev C version, and then a separate thread for the improved Rev D. Both of them are filled with info about installing in any number of machines including 400's and 800's. However, I think at this point most 400/800 owners have instead been opting to install a SuperColor board, which incorporates the UAV design into the PCB that replaced the ANTIC/GTIA board in stock machines. Searching the A8 forum for those threads should find them pretty quickly.
  6. Aww, man, that sucks. I hope you feel better soon!
  7. LOL, brother - it’s in the post you quoted. I limited myself to four because I wanted boxed versions. I could have ordered dozens if I hadn’t given myself a budget.
  8. Well, my order from July 7 or so still hasn’t shipped, and that’s only about halfway through the initial Last Chance Sale window. Maybe I’ll have my four carts before spring. Maybe.
  9. It's just 9VDC and pretty low amperage (1A is more than sufficient). So @-^CrossBow^-'s suggestion is the way to go. Cut off the pigtail down near the PSU brick, wire in a new 9VDC PSU to the existing leads and you're golden. Just do note the polarity before you splice the lead to the replacement supply.

    7800 FPGA?

    Donkey Kong XM only used the POKEY audio and HSC functions of the planned XM feature set, as far as I know. That’s why Perry was able to make Donkey Kong PK carts with the POKEY onboard the PCB, and why the ROMs for that take advantage of HSC functionality on the 7800GD, for instance.

    7800 FPGA?

    Maybe so. Feel free to add me to your block list.

    7800 FPGA?

    Yes, I am very well aware of the technical details. I'm just tossing some salt into the "FPGA yes!" "FPGA no!" argument.

    7800 FPGA?

    The 7800GD cart basically has the 7800 hardware in its internal FPGA. Just sayin' ...
  14. I bought two of them right before he sold out about 3 years ago.
